Dark-eyed Junco
by Dennis Plank
These are year round residents at our place and fairly easy to photograph, but they've always seemed to be exceptionally photogenic to me. I have a largish slab of rock propped up to form a central bathing area in the larger pond in front of my blind, but for some reason, it's rarely used. This Juvenile Junco found it just fine a couple of days ago and I really liked the looks of the water.
7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 388 mm, tripod with ball head and Sidekick, f/8, 1/320, iso 1600, aperture priority, pattern metering, -2/3 EV. Processed in LR & PS CC. Cropped to 16.8 MP at arbitrary proportions with a bit of canvas added on the bottom using the content aware crop function. Taken August 6th at 11:35 am under hazy skies.
Your comments are appreciated.
Thanks,
